Re: Calendar bugs
I also use 24-hour time.? There are some inconsistencies, such as when quoting a message.? I've thought about mentioning that on beta, but I think it could cause some head scratching when it switched back and forth within the group messages.? The same could apply to the calendar, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.? I don't know how difficult it would be to have all time displays based on a persons setting, such as within posts or events, but probably not easy.

Groups.io site updates
#changelog
Hi all,
This week's change log: Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change. NEW: User preferences for date and time display formatting.Yay! Finally ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) are supported, and a 24-hour clock, for those so inclined. The choices are in your Account preferences, coming soon to your group's Default Sub Settings (in the same way as Time Zone, I assume). Mark is still looking for reports of quirks and bugs related to this change, so if you feel like exploring turn on those options and poke around. Looks like Michael and Duane nailed one today: Comments about these others are also welcome: NEW: Lock icons are now displayed for locked groups in the Your Groups Please call out any you find significant.

Re: Calendar bugs
Yes, Mark saw the notes we put on beta and fixed it about 1600 CDT.

Re: Automatic Unsubscribes?
Chris,
Seems silly to set up an indexed page containing nothing more than aTrue. You could surround the link with some group-specific introductory matter or anything else you want to say on the subject. Or, like GMF, you could abandon the index page in favor of a hand-crafted home page.

Re: A somewhat unique transfer situation.
Dale,
I am not sure Mark would be interested in getting our messages loaded,You never know. If he's still working through a backlog of Y!Groups he might put you in the queue or just wait until things settle down. What I was hoping for is a way to simply post my album with itsAh. Something that could be done if Mark built an importer that could take a (zip of a) PG Offline folder, starting at the .db3 files and including all the subfolders. Unfortunately I think he has said that he is not going to do that (anytime soon). If it were documented you might be able to put your album folders and metadata (owner, dates, etc.) in the format Mark uses to capture Y!Group data, then it wouldn't be much work on his end to import it. I know he puts the metadata into json files, one per photo and one per album, so maybe some scripting could do the job, if one can figure out how to get the metadata out of PG Offline's database. I checked the Yahoo site and it is a public group, so I don't thinkCool. Then at least putting them on a public web page wouldn't be violating anyone's privacy. You might want to redact or "fig-leaf" any email addresses in message bodies, to mimic the behavior of Yahoo Groups. I am not familiar with the acronym YMMV. I assume that the Y is YahooNothing so scary: Your Mileage May Vary - just meaning that the general statement might apply differently or not at all to different circumstances.

It got the reverse malfunction:

Re: Calendar bugs
This could be related to the recent change in the date/time formatting, .? You could post this information to that thread so Mark will see it.? I was able to reproduce it.? I believe the problem is because even though I have 24 hour time selected, the End drop down shows am/pm times, one of those little bugs that can creep in after a big change like this.

Re: How can I turn on Message #s in Messages in my groups?

The system remembers which view you normally use.? The only gotcha is that if you choose a group from the overview page, /, it reverts to the Topic view because it's hard-coded on those links.? The suggestion has been made that this be changed to use the user preference, but I don't think a decision was ever made.

Calendar bugs
I've tried many times to create an Event in the Calendar, but keep getting the message:
"You have entered an incorrectly formatted date or time.¡±
?
The event is 4th Sundays, 2-5pm
?
1) I think the problem is with the time function in ¡°End¡±
?
¡°Start¡± allows me to select: 2:00pm?
?
however the ¡°End¡± time box then displays ¡°Invalid Date¡±, its pull down menu offers:
00:00 to 23:30 in 1/2 hour increments.
I¡¯ve tried both 3:00 (duration) and 17:00 (24 hour clock)
and still get the same message when I click on "+ Add Event":
"You have entered an incorrectly formatted date or time.¡±
I would also prefer being able to specify times, rather than having to select 1/2 hours. 2) It is most annoying and frustrating that the form is then cleared and I have to re-enter every field again, instead of just indicating which fields need correction / completion
?
?
I find nothing in Help for: Calendar
?
I also searched in the GMF Wiki for: Calendar and the only result that comes close is
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Member-Notices?
but it doesn't cover these bugs |

Re: Send "automatic" files to pending/new members
|?For monthly reminders, I use a hashtag that causes the message to be deleted after a month.? Reduces the clutter and folks won't find old information, thinking it's current.
My GMF: Home in Top Hashtags states (among others):
red boxed "#admin" Administrative messages from the moderators (21)
?
?
On my GMF: Messages there are 21 "Group Managers Forum subscription reminder" messages?
followed by a red boxed "#admin" and a blue boxed "#cal-reminder"
?
They are:
Group Managers Forum subscription reminder
from Monday, 1 August 2016 to Wed, 11/1/17
?
None for Dec 2017 or Jan 2018
?
Group Managers Forum subscription reminder #admin -
from Thu, 3/3/18 to Fri, 6/1/18
